Saxon math has never met the standards set by the state. It has little or no problem solvingWe did at least 25, usually 30 problems per day in each Saxon lesson.
Practice problems on material learned that day (about 5), then 20-30 more problems to solve that included new concepts plus mixed review of familiar concepts.
You sure you're talking about Saxon????
Yes/1 To start with, 5 problems may not be enough to develop understanding of a new concept. The review is the strong point of Saxon. And there is an extreme shortage of problem solving. PS is not just a word problem, that they know they will use the concept being taught. PS should require thinking. That has always been Saxon's weak point. And he would not change to meet state requirements.
